Are you more left-brained or right-brained? When approaching a challenge, do you first sketch it out or break it down step by step?

This year’s workshop is designed for you to explore new skills and insights across hospitality, design, and more. The four workshops sit in one of two categories: hands-on creativity or future-focused strategy. 

The 30-minute workshops will take place simultaneously and will be covered three times over, with short breaks in between. This means you can mix and match how you like. Two formats will be hosted at Hotel Schwarzschmied and Villa Arnica, you don’t need to sign up, just choose in the moment. Please be aware spaces are limited, so be on time if you would like to join!
